Maruv is through to the grand final of Vidbir

Maruv, along with former entrants Brunettes shoot Blondes and Yuko are through to the Grand final of Vidbir 2019 in Ukraine. Maruv is the replacement for Tayanna who withdrew for personal and unknown reasons. 

Before the live shows, Maruv decided to change her song. It seemed to work well for her as she qualified top on a tie breaker. Her position was decided by the televotes.

The full Vidbir results are as follows (qualifiers in bold):

  • Maruv – Jury Votes – 6 points, Televotes – 8 points = 14 points
  • Brunettes Shoot Blondes – 7 points – Jury votes = 7 points 
  • Yuko – 8 points – Jury votes- 5 points – Televotes = 13 points

Tayanna replacement
